I'm pretty sure this is the same thing as

BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request in vmx_handle_exit_irqoff

I'll verify and get a patch posted shortly.

This repro does not create any VMs, it's just:

iopl(0x3)
rt_sigreturn()

Do you still think it's related to the vmx_handle_exit_irqoff issue?

Yes, the issue is that the shadow for the read-only IDT mapping in the CPU entry
area isn't populated (commit 9fd429c28073 ("x86/kasan: Map shadow for percpu pages
on demand") is to blame). The bug manifests anytime software manually does an IDT
lookup.

Hrm, but the lookup is into the GDT, not the IDT, and I haven't been able to reproduce
this one. I'll leave it open for now.

The repro calls rt_sigreturn() w/o actually setting up the signal
frame (mcontext, etc). So I assume the kernel will restore completely
bogus/random user-space mcontext. The data it reads from the stack may
be uninit or depend on the compiler, etc.

As the result it should get completely random segment selector here:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/tree/arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c?id=81214a573d19ae2fa5b528286ba23cd1cb17feec#n725

Can it be out-of-bounds or something?

The lookup is on CS.base (I trimmed the stack in my first reply) as part of the
IOPL emulation to see if userspace is attempting CLI or STI, so it's not related
to the sigframe.

insn_get_seg_base arch/x86/lib/insn-eval.c:725 [inline]

RIP: 0003:0x7f250f3abf8c

It does look like some form out out-of-bounds selector though. The offset in the
splat suggests CS.sel is something way above __USER_CS, which would explain why
insn_get_effective_ip() is doing a lookup in the first place (CS.base is assumed
to be 0 if userspace is in 64-bit mode, user_64bit_mode() is true if CS == __USER_CS)),
I just can't figure out how that tiny reproducer is getting a bad CS. And the above
RIP strongly suggests userspace is indeed in 64-bit mode.

My understanding is that rt_sigreturn() restores complete user context
from the info stored on the stack.
Normally signal delivery will store that info on the stack first. But
in this case there is no signal delivery, so rt_sigreturn() reads
complete garbage from the stack and restores it into the context. I
assume this can setup any non-sense CS and maybe even pretend this is
not normal x86_64 mode (?).

Ha! Indeed, shoving a sigcontext onto the stack that's valid enough to pass
basic checks but throws in a bad CS does the trick.

int main(void)
{
struct sigcontext regs;

syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x1ffff000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x20000000ul, 0x1000000ul, 7ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
syscall(__NR_mmap, 0x21000000ul, 0x1000ul, 0ul, 0x32ul, -1, 0ul);
syscall(__NR_iopl, 3);

memset(&regs, 0, sizeof(regs));
regs.cs = 0x1d0;
syscall(__NR_rt_sigreturn);
return 0;
}

Same root cause, different fix. I'll post officially in a bit.

The other bare use of cea_set_pte() in percpu_setup_debug_store() also appears
suspect. The base debug_store area is mapped, but the buffers are not.
